Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions (extension): 14 April 2008 -- IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE WIRELESS APPLICATIONS AND COMPUTING 2008 Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22 to 24 July 2008 (http://www.wac-conf.org/) part of the IADIS Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (MCCSIS 2008) Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22 to 27 July 2008 (http://www.mccsis.org) * Keynote Speaker (confirmed): Professor Axel Küpper, of the LMU Munich, Germany Professor Qusay H. Mahmoud, University of Guelph, Canada * Conference background and goals The IADIS Wireless Applications and Computing 2008 conference addresses several themes related to theory and practice within wireless networks, computing and application related areas. Enormous developments in wireless technologies made in recent years enabled both researchers and industry to create new, innovative wireless and mobile application and services, protocols, middleware platforms and application frameworks. Corresponding research is related to all communication layers, but also includes application-related topics, theoretical results and non-technical issues. Main topics have been identified (see below). However, innovative contributions that don’t fit into these areas will also be considered since they might be of benefit to conference attendees. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be available also in the IADIS Digital Library (http://www.iadis.net/dl). The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems (ISSN: 1646-3692) and also on "International Journal of Information Technology and Web Engineering" (IJITWE) (ISSN: 1554-1045). * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * Topics related to Wireless Applications and Computing are of interest. These include, but are not limited to the following areas: - Ad-hoc Networking - Cellular Phone Networks and Satellite Based Systems - Context Aware Applications - Distributed Systems Aspects of Wireless Applications - Integration of Wired and Wireless Networks - Location-based Applications and Services - Mobile Commerce - Mobile Computing Software Architectures - Mobile Entertainment, Gaming and Learning - Performance and Simulation Aspects of Wireless Networks - Pervasive Computing - Security in Wireless Networks - Wireless Access Networks - Wireless Application Frameworks - Wireless Applications Programming - Wireless Communication Middleware - Wireless Database Access - Wireless End-user Devices - Wireless Home Networks - Wireless Multimedia - Wireless Peer-to-Peer Networks - Wireless Positioning Technologies - WLANs and WPANs * Important Dates: - Submission deadline (extension): 14 April 2008 - Notification to Authors: 5 May 2008 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: Until 23 May 2008 - Late Registration: After 23 May 2008 - Conference: Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 22 to 24 July 2008 * Conference Location The conference will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. * Secretariat IADIS Secretariat - IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE WIRELESS APPLICATIONS AND COMPUTING 2008 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat@wac-conf.org Web site: http://www.wac-conf.org/ * Program Committee Wireless Applications and Computing 2008 Program Chair Jörg Roth, University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg, Germany General MCCSIS Conference Co-Chairs: Piet Kommers, University of Twente, The Netherlands Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Nian-Shing Chen, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan Committee Members: * * for committee list please refer to http://www.wac-conf.org/committees.asp
